What is 12.858 percent of 2480 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 2480 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 2480 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2480=100%.
4. We know, that x is 12.858% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=12.858%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2480=100%
2) x=12.858%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
2480/x=100%/12.858%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 12.858% of 2480

2480/x=100/12.858
(2480/x)*x=(100/12.858)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2480=7.7772592938249*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.7772592938249) to get x
2480/7.7772592938249=x
318.8784=x
x=318.8784

now we have:
12.858% of 2480=318.8784
